I do not Want Govt to Fall: Advani

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/BJP_wants_UPA_to_stay_in_power/articleshow/2288337.cms

BJP Leader LK Advani was right when he said he would not be happy if the government falls as he would like it to continue and "make blunders, commit more mistakes and fill up their pot of sins". Who else can speak of blunders, mistakes and sins with as much authority! The erstwhile Deputy Prime Minister beat everyone else to spring to the defence of Narendra Modi when the latter was criticized for Godhara riots in Gujarat and was over enthusiastic in his declaration of Jinnah as a secular leader. He even drummed up support for Rahul Mahajan after he was arrested in a drug abuse case; all for the sake of rupees two thousand crores that went missing, after the murder of Pramod Mahajan.

His contention that the government must amend the Constitution, to make it obligatory for all international agreements which impinge on our security and integrity to be ratified by both Houses of Parliament, also does not hold any water. Wonder why this did not occur to him when he was the Deputy PM! Maybe he left it for later, when he becomes the Prime Minister. After all, he cannot deny he has had an eye on the post for decades.

All in all, Advani’s statement amounts the BJP pot calling the UPA kettle black.

And what kind of responsibility does the leader of opposition display by endorsing that he wants the government to "continue to blunder". It appears as though he has forgotten that the Parliament is not his play house. It is the legislature of the Republic of India. And any polititian who sees blunders in the parliament is dutybound by oath to STOP IT.
